Show CLIMB PIKES PEAK ALMOST DAILY A concrete example of tremendous strides made by automotive engineers toward the goal of mechanical perfection in the modern motor car la Is provided here bre dally daily on oa the pikes peak highway A few years ago a car that would scale the peak was a front page feature through throughout ot the cantry while today thanks to the automotive en engl ginner a cars abilay to perform ably and satisfactorily in the thin air and ou on the long steep ascents accents of the peak Is taken more or less for granted despite a greatly improved highway uv up tho the peak tho the long continuous climb and tho the light air pressure pres suro in the high altitudes which usel used t to 0 mean a boiling radiator and an engine too hot to make tho the grade provide one of the severest tests la in america ot of the mechanical ch condition ot of a 0 car even more mora i outstanding than tile tho performance ot those tourist automobiles which make maho a single trip up tho the steep incline Is the record of oe a fleet ot trucks used to maintain tho highway lit in constant repair tho the fleet now in such service includes three chevrolet sixes which see almost daly uso use up in the region above the cloud levels recently the tha fleet has been used to haul away huge mountain sf of snow to prepare the highway tor for the summer tourist travel tho the route was expected to be opened early in june with the snow cleared away the fleet will continue in dally daily service doing maintenance teri ance and repair work on the high way tho the Chev roleta used in this work have been in operation tor for more than a year that the cars aro arc operating today with tho the same degree of economy and dependability as aa a year ago la Is a fitting tribute to the achieve monta merits to those engineers who work quietly behind the scenes in the interest ot of improved performance at lower cost |
